Saudi Express ships household belongings, furniture and cars from Makkah to Jordan by road. The truck takes the Madinah and Tabuk road to the Halat Ammar border crossing, opposite Jordan’s Al Mudawwara border centre, then continues along the Desert Highway to Amman, Zarqa, Irbid and the other governorates. The trip usually takes 5 to 8 days, and the service covers dismantling and packing in Makkah and assembly in Jordan. A carton starts from SAR 92 and a bedroom from SAR 2,700.

Shipping prices from Makkah to Jordan
Saudi Express prices from Makkah to Jordan start from SAR 92 per carton, SAR 2,700 for a bedroom and SAR 7,550 for a two-bedroom flat. Single items are priced separately; a fridge, for example, starts from SAR 640.
The Jordan route is longer than the Kuwait and Bahrain routes, passing two border posts and long desert roads in both countries, which is reflected in the price. People returning to Jordan after years in Makkah usually carry more than they expect: bedroom furniture, a full kitchen, books and gifts for family. So we always start by photographing the home, calculate the volume, then suggest what is worth shipping and what to sell here.
Starting prices from Makkah to Jordan:

To cut costs, ship books and clothes in full medium cartons rather than huge half-empty ones; leave behind old appliances that are easy to replace in Jordan; and choose a shared load if you are not tied to a specific arrival date.
How long does shipping from Makkah to Jordan take?
Road shipping from Makkah to Jordan mostly takes 5 to 8 days, and air freight for urgent parcels 2 to 4 days.
The truck leaves Makkah heading north on the Madinah road, then Tabuk, then Halat Ammar on the Jordanian border. After Saudi exit formalities, the shipment enters Al Mudawwara border centre and then follows the Desert Highway via Ma’an to Amman. The total distance is close to 1,550 km.
There is another route via Haql and the Al Durra crossing to Aqaba, which we use when the shipment is bound for Aqaba itself or southern Jordan. Transit is affected by travel seasons, especially the summer holidays, when Halat Ammar gets busy with travellers and trucks.
| Stage | Approx. time | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Packing and loading in Makkah | 1–2 days | Depends on the size of the home |
| Road to Halat Ammar | 1–2 days | Via Madinah and Tabuk |
| Halat Ammar and Al Mudawwara | 1–3 days | Exit, entry and inspection |
| Distribution inside Jordan | 1–2 days | Amman first, then other governorates |
Ways to ship from Makkah to Jordan
Most shipments from Makkah to Jordan go by road because they arrive door to door in a single trip. Air is used for small urgent parcels, and sea goes through Aqaba port and suits commercial containers.
The sea leg from Jeddah to Aqaba is relatively short, but it needs a container booking, vessel schedules, port clearance and then inland transport to Amman or Irbid, so road remains simpler for household furniture. See land shipping and sea shipping for details, and all our services for this destination in shipping to Jordan.
Heading back to Jordan and want to know the cost?
Photograph the rooms of your Makkah home and send them on WhatsApp with the Jordanian city, and we will send an estimate and loading date.
Call 0560533140 WhatsAppAir freight from Makkah to Jordan
Air freight from Makkah to Jordan goes from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to Queen Alia International Airport in Amman and arrives in about 2 to 4 days. It suits official papers, small devices and urgent clothing.
Many people use it to send their children’s school certificates and files ahead of the furniture so they can enrol in Jordanian schools on time. We do not recommend it for furniture or large appliances, as the cost rises sharply with size.
Air pricing uses actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater; volumetric weight = length × width × height in cm ÷ 6000. A small heavy carton of books is usually charged on its actual weight, while a large light carton of clothes is charged on its volume. Ask about the per-kilo air rate by phone or WhatsApp; service details are in air shipping.
Moving furniture from Makkah to Jordan: dismantling, packing and assembly
The Saudi Express crew dismantles, wraps, numbers and loads your furniture in Makkah, then unloads and assembles it in your home in Jordan.
Heavy wooden beds and large wardrobes are taken apart piece by piece, with screws and hinges kept in bags marked with the item number. Sofas are wrapped in dust-proof film with blankets at the corners, carpets rolled and tied, and dishes wrapped one by one in divided cartons.
The road to Jordan climbs through the Tabuk highlands and long desert stretches, and temperatures drop noticeably in the north in winter, so we make sure fridges and washing machines are completely dry before loading to prevent condensation inside them. Air conditioners are removed by a technician and the gas line sealed tight.
On arrival the truck is unloaded, cartons are placed by number in their rooms, and the furniture is assembled. If your home in Jordan is still being prepared, furniture storage can hold everything until it is ready.
💡 Family gifts in a separate carton
Pack gifts and new items you will hand out in Jordan in separate cartons, with receipts if you have them, so they are not mixed with used furniture on the customs list.
Car shipping from Makkah to Jordan and entry rules
Saudi Express ships cars from Makkah to Jordan on an enclosed carrier via Halat Ammar in about 6 to 9 days, priced by type of car; ask about the price by phone or WhatsApp.
Before booking, make sure your car can enter Jordan. Jordan’s vehicle import instructions bar used right-hand-drive cars, vehicles previously used as taxis, police cars or school transport, vehicles that suffered serious accidents such as fire or flooding, and cars whose engine was converted from gas to petrol or diesel. Small electric vehicles more than 3 years old are also barred. The car needs an electronic inspection and certificates before clearance.
In Saudi Arabia, export papers are issued once the istimara is confirmed valid, fines are paid and there is no lien. We record the car’s condition with photos, cover it, strap its wheels inside the carrier and ask that it is emptied of personal belongings.
If you drive your Saudi-plated car into Jordan yourself, you need a valid istimara and insurance covering Jordan, and a customs passbook may be requested; read about the triptyque before travelling, and about car shipping options.
Documents and Jordanian customs
Shipping furniture to Jordan needs a copy of the owner’s passport and iqama or ID, a copy of the recipient’s Jordanian ID or passport, and a detailed packing list with numbers and approximate values.
- Shipment owner: copy of passport and iqama or national ID.
- Recipient: copy of Jordanian ID or passport and a Jordanian phone number.
- Packing list: each carton with its number and contents, new items separated from used.
- Goods: commercial invoice, certificate of origin and commercial registration.
- Car: istimara, export document and required inspection certificates.
Jordanian customs at Al Mudawwara checks the list and may open some cartons, and the customs treatment of used furniture depends on the owner’s situation, including whether they are returning to reside. That is why we write the list in plain language, separate new items, and tell you before loading which papers you may be asked for.
Items not allowed in shipments to Jordan
Shipments to Jordan cannot include anything flammable or pressurised, weapons, ammunition or their parts, narcotics, or perishable food.
🚁 Needs a permit
Drones and wireless communication devices do not enter without prior approval.
🔥 Dangerous
Gas, fuel, solvents, paints and aerosols.
🥫 Food
Opened or fresh food; anything shipped must be sealed and packaged.
🗂️ With you
Original documents, gold, cash and personal medicines.
Dates and Zamzam water are among the things returnees most want to take to family. Packaged dates usually ship without trouble if sealed, and any liquid must be in tightly closed containers inside its own carton so it cannot leak onto other belongings.
Jordanian cities we deliver to
We deliver from Makkah to every governorate of Jordan. Amman, Zarqa and Irbid are the most requested, and we also reach Salt, Madaba, Jerash, Mafraq, Karak, Ma’an and Aqaba.
| City | Approx. transit from Makkah | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Amman | 5–7 days | Most shipments |
| Zarqa | 5–7 days | Close to Amman |
| Irbid, Jerash and Mafraq | 6–8 days | Northern Jordan |
| Madaba, Salt and Karak | 6–8 days | Centre and south |
| Aqaba and Ma’an | 5–7 days | On the route or via Al Durra |
Before delivery the courier contacts the recipient to set a time; the crew unloads, checks the cartons against the list and assembles the furniture. If you are still in Makkah, a relative in Jordan can receive on your behalf.
Collection from Makkah districts
We collect Jordan shipments from every district of Makkah, including Al Shawqiyah, Al Aziziyah, Batha Quraysh, Al Kakiyah, Wali Al Ahd, Al Nawariyah, Al Hajun, Al Hijrah, Al Rusaifah and Al Khalidiyah, as well as Al Jumum and Bahra.
Many Jordanian families in Makkah live in Al Aziziyah, Al Shawqiyah and Batha Quraysh, where streets get crowded in the afternoon, so we schedule loading in the morning. In narrow streets a medium van shuttles items to the big truck.
⚠️ Hajj season and holidays
During Hajj vehicle entry into Makkah requires permits, and in the summer holidays Halat Ammar gets congested. If your return to Jordan falls in either period, book early.
Commercial goods from Makkah to Jordan
Saudi Express ships commercial goods from Makkah to Jordan by road via Halat Ammar, as a full load or in a shared truck, with a commercial invoice, certificate of origin and the Jordanian importer’s details.
Goods moving from Makkah to Jordan include dates, perfumes and incense, carpets and prayer rugs, clothing and shop supplies. They are palletised or packed in numbered cartons with items and quantities listed precisely, because Jordanian customs at Al Mudawwara matches the invoice to the load.
The importer in Jordan pays customs duty and the general sales tax at its applicable rate, which is 16% on most goods; customs duty varies by item and certificate of origin. We therefore advise traders to coordinate with a Jordanian clearing agent before shipping.
Insuring your furniture and belongings to Jordan
You can add optional insurance to your Jordan shipment, and before loading we explain what it covers, its limits and its cost based on the declared value.
The Jordan trip passes two border posts and long roads, so many choose to insure modern appliances and new furniture. Photograph important pieces before packing, record their real value on the list, and note any issue on the delivery report in Jordan before signing.
Mistakes people returning to Jordan make
The biggest mistake is shipping a car that does not meet Jordan’s import conditions: it reaches Al Mudawwara, cannot enter, and the owner bears the cost of returning or disposing of it.
Other common mistakes are mixing new gifts with used furniture on the list, moving bulky old furniture that costs more to ship than it is worth, ending the Makkah tenancy before loading day, and leaving children’s certificates inside cartons instead of carrying them or sending them by air. The last is picking a shipping date at the peak of the summer holidays without booking early.
